To comply with these regulatory requirements, all cosmetic products being marketed within the European Union have to be registered on the new Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP), which was set up in January 2012.

This regulation impacts manufacturers, distributors, retailers, packers, contract manufacturers, and importers.
